The NobI eevilie Gas Field.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis JournaI
If Mfr. Lee, OF Arcadia, will carefully read the
statement of which be complains, he will see
that the item does full justice to Arcadia Gas
in this field was first discovered at Noblesville
IN December last. since which time drilling has
been prosecuted at Upton, Indianapolis and
Westfeld, without fndin gas. while at Castle
ton on the south, and Arc ada on the north, gas
has been found; also, to the east. that the
field is properly called the Noplesville gas
field All that is claimed is that the Arcadia
we'll is the eleventh successfuil we'll in the
Noblesville field Arcadia hAd to drill deeper
for gas than any of the Mob lesville wells, and
the same is true to Castleton, while the wells
to the east prove conclusiyely that the apex or
the Trenton rock, where the gre atest supply Will
be found. is in the immediate vicinity of Mobiles
vile, which fact is further proven by the pres
sure and superior quality of gas that Is afforded
by the seven wells in the imnledi ate vicinity OF
Noblesville three OF which W thin the cor
porate limits of the town and owned and
paid for by local capital. We acknowledge the
claim that Noblesvi1le has at least Eve better
wells and are truly glad that Arcadia is in the
field for it shows at that the Moblesville
gas field Is the most extensive in point of terri
tory yendeyeloped in the West; and the quantity
aud quality of the gas excel any known field.
We have plenty of gas for all, and the state
ment of Mr.. Lee that Noblesville has only one
we'll anc that it has failed. is incorrect. None
of the wells have failed, and none have shown
any signs of weakening. P.

WhNTED-A COLD WAVE.
The Impatiently Desired Relief from the
Searching Heat Is Slow in Coming.

The indications of rain for this region failin z
to materialize, yesterday, left the atmosphere
charged with the intense heat, which the people
beginning to accept everyday occur
renee. so far the height of the mercuryis con-
cerned. Hot weather exception has lost
its interest, and the only thing now that would
give weather-talk freshness would be a rain,
not n showery fall, but one in which the earth
would be drenched and that would mean some
thing. The Thermometer then would drop sufi-
GENTLY to relieve suffering humanity from the
apprehension that it is to be slowly burned to
death. In yesterdays thermometrieal readings
the middle nineties were still maintained by the
signal officers observations. From noon until
o'clock they held closely to 95o, and if at any
time any variation occurred it was hardly worth
noticing. There were breezes and gusts of wind
that afforded slight relief, but what little good
there was in them was quickly lost by the fiery
sondition of the streets and walls. from which
the heat could almost be to arise. Yester-
day was no better than the day before, nor did
it have the promise of early rain. The night
before, in some places In the South a great deal
of water fell. but Cincinnati and Louisville were
the nearest points TO get this blessing. The
storm area was extending East, but Indianapolis
was behind it, SO whatever cooling effect il had
this city got the night before. On the streets
Sioan's drug store holding itself at 1912 at
o'clock and dropping, two hours later, down to
1912 Il is believed. though. that for a time the
heat has reached It's highest point, and that in a
day or two certainly relief will come with the
mercury in the eighties. il not lower.

COMPLAINTS ABOUT PoGUE's RUN.
Many complaints are being received at the
city health Office about the condition of Poeues
run, between Delaware and South streets
There is now running water in the stream
aud the staenant pools are sending out ar odor
that is making life a burden for the residents
along the stream. The health authorities say
that something will have to be done to aoate
the nuisance. but they do not have it in their
power TO render any relief. The Water-works
Company will be petitioned to-day to open a
few plugs along the stream and clean it out, but
it is very doubtful il they will comply with0the
request unless the city compels them to do it.
LoGANsPoRT HAS THE PREFERENCE.
The commissioners for the construction new
insane hospitals were visited yesterday by an
Evansville delegation VINO urged that the hospital
in that city should be opened if the purpose to
complete the Logansport building for i'm Mediate
use The Governor and the commissioners have
construed the law establ ishinR these institutions
as permitting the use of any available funds for
maintenance without any specific appropri alton.
II is still a question with the commissioners
whether the money will be available but the
opinion tends to the belief that the December
revenues will permit the expenses 1t is said
that contractors furnishing supplies will wait
until January next for their pay. The Evans
Vile delegation told there would probably be
money enough for both buildings. but il there
was not Loeansport is TO have the preference.
